Abstract

Ever since Outcome Based Education (OBE) has been made mandatory for accreditation of an engineering programme by National Board of Accreditation (NBA), many engineering institutes have adopted OBE. OBE model of accreditation focuses on objectives and outcomes of an engineering programme. It requires evidences of attainment of the predefined outcomes. The basic difference between OBE and traditional learning is that OBE is more 'Learner Centric' and focuses on what a student has learnt rather than what the faculty teaches. 'Learner Centric' model places the student at the centre of the learning process. At the heart of OBE are the Graduate Attributes. Marathwada Mitra Mandal's College of Engineering (MMCOE) is implementing OBE in all its undergraduate programmes since semester-II of academic year 2014-2015. This paper is an attempt to put forth the initiatives taken by MMCOE to adopt OBE philosophy. A Microsoft Excel-based system is used for computation of CO-PO attainment.The system takes into account both direct and indirect tools of assessment.
